When people think about cheese, the image they summon to mind is usually the easiest type of cheese to find at the grocery store: American cheese. American cheese almost always comes pre-sliced and often in pre-packaged slices (like Kraft Singles), and it's a bright orange-yellow color, similar to the sharper-tasting cheddar cheese. That orange-yellow usually isn't a natural cheese color, though; cheddar cheese is artificially colored with a seed-based food coloring called annatto. What's more, American cheese has a whole lot else inside it. In fact, the packaging for American cheese usually calls it a "cheese product" instead of just "cheese."

To streamline the operation, McDonald's buys all of its ingredients — from the beef patties in the burgers to the coffee it brews — from external vendors.

Iconic chef Julia Child is known for teaching American home cooks how to elevate their cooking with classic French dishes like quiche Lorraine, boeuf bourguignon, and coq au vin. She might have prepared elegant meals, but her down-to-earth attitude made her relatable in the kitchen. She once famously said, "If you're alone in the kitchen and you drop the lamb, you can always just pick it up. Who's going to know?" (via Esquire). She wasn't above eating fast food or from grocery store food courts either: Her favorite Costco food court item was reportedly the familiar quarter-pound hot dog.
